I paired this beer with: Grilled chicken marinated with lemon butter marinated. There is a split decision on this pairing, the wife says that the flavors of the marinate and the finish of the beer clash & I say the pairing went well, could have been better, but still acceptable.

Tasted on: Tuesday June 22nd, 2010.

Note: The beer poured with a fluffy one finger head and left a small thin lacing on the glass. The initial smell was sweet almost honey like, then I picked up some citrus/grapefruit. The initial taste of this beer was mildly sweet from the malts, and then it finished with mild bitterness of grapefruits. Nothing over the top here, just a very well balanced beer. It was much less “hoppy” then expected from a Imperial IPA, but not disappointed due to the excellent balance of this beer. The mouthfeel was just a tad under a thin syrup and had a very nice carbonation level for this style of beer. I would definitely drink this one again in the summer, fall, winter or spring. I would have this beer with brunch, lunch, dinner or just by itself.

The ancient Sumerians worshipped the beer they made, praised the Goddess Ninkasi for the miracle of fermentation. Beer is a staple of civilization. Worship the Goddess.
